ABOUT THE FILM...

Last year, so-called “legal highs” were banned from sale in shops, but are still widely available and have caused havoc in prisons and in cities across the UK. Nobody seems to know what can be done to stop this epidemic. The NPS’s (novel psychoactive substances, or “legal highs” ) are cheap, easy to get hold of, and hard to detect.

A new short film, “The Dummies’ Guide To Spice” explores some of the issues surrounding NPS’, made with a group of ex-users and drug experts who work at the cutting edge from various fields.

We look at novel psychoactive substances from all angles: what are they? What effects do they have? Social consequences? And what might well lie ahead...

The Dummies’ Guide aims to give a picture of the situation in an accessible, yet compelling way. Join us on our journey with a group of ex-users who set out to investigate.

“We can’t stop it...but we can inform people about it...” Don (investigator) , quote from the film

We aim to have a live FB feed/Twitter feed of the panel discussions to give more people a chance to log in and participate.
